First Week of Couponing for 2015!!

I was going to wait until late Saturday night to post about my first couponing trips of the year, but I figured I would go ahead and do it on Friday instead since I had the time and motivation.

So without further ado, here is part of my haul for the month so far. Not everything is pictured because it’s either in use or I ate it 🙂 This is the majority of it, though. So far I have spent $39.73 and got $147.90 worth of stuff! Not bad so far, but after this week I will be getting back into my $10 and under per week couponing and No Coupon Extreme Couponing!!

I also snagged these adorable dog jackets on clearance at CVS! Price details below!

Note: I’m using “local” and “work” to differentiate between transactions done at the store I work in, and the one near my house. I put the original value of the items next to the store as well. Also, an asterisk (*) is used to indicate a clearance item.
